    I used to own a 3592.50 with box and papers, but stupidly sold it for a measly profit because I was annoyed by a few minor blemishes found on the dial. Several long months went by and sensual dreams of the gold gilt 863 movement seen through the sapphire crystal glass (think red-light district in Amsterdam), plump hesalite dome, and deeply tanned tritium markers started to invade my usually peaceful slumber. As the days crept on, frequently waking up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat and in need of an underwear change, I developed the most crippling seller’s remorse imaginable. Dreams of those voluptuous features during the night and waking nightmares of the regrettable sale during the day brought on seemingly endless torment. When the opportunity finally presented itself to buy another 3592.50, I immediately jumped on it, purchasing it without box and papers, and losing any profit I had made from the previous sale.

    Recently put this sexy beast on a Bulang and Sons caramel colored leather strap after rocking the original janky, yet charming, bracelet for a few years. Absolutely loving the new look. Anybody else rocking leather with their Speedy?

    You’re kidding, right? The Speedy is a strap monster. It’s hard to find a strap it doesn’t look great on!

    Keep the leather strap on. Gives it some old world charm.

    Yes.
    Q-tip stick cut at a 45-degree angle, and a modicum of elbow grease comes to mind.

    Shit didn’t notice how filthy it was until you pointed it out. Had to delete. Nasty.
